Mind over Weight

So why is it that even when we know WHAT we SHOULD be eating we still fail time and time again to achieve our weight loss goals? For many people the problem is not WHAT we eat but WHY we eat.

So WHY do we overeat? We overeat for so many reasons, here's a few of the most common:

• When we are bored
• When we are stressed
• When we are unhappy
• When we feel unloved
• When someone annoys us

I could go on but where is 'when we are hungry'? That's the problem if you spend so much time eating for all the wrong reasons you lose the most basic trigger i.e. hunger.

If you recognise yourself in any of this then it is time to engage your mind rather than your body to control your weight. Your subconscious mind needs to be reprogrammed to rid it of the old habits and triggers and taken back to basics i.e. only eating when you are hungry!

Sounds simple but our subconscious mind doesn't listen to reason certainly not when it has learned simple and very powerful lessons such as when you are unhappy, chocolate makes you feel better. What your subconscious mind doesn't work through are the consequences of eating chocolate whenever you feel unhappy - you put on weight, when you put on weight you feel unhappy and round you go again - eating more chocolate to make you feel better!

With the Hypnotherapists help your subconscious mind can be taught new more healthy lessons and once it learns these new lessons they are with you for life. No more viscious circles - now they are replaced by virtuous circles and your mind is your ally in controlling your weight.
